Chapter 129

(I made some changes earlier, the back-to-school photo, the protagonist had already graduated, and while writing I lost track of time.)

At that time, the internet was abuzz with heated debate.

In Yunnan.

The crew of 'The Lost Tomb 3'.

A celebrity came to visit the set.

Bai Lu!

Exactly, she came to visit Dilraba on set.

Last year, Bai Lu's role in 'Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix' brought her some fame.

These days she also enjoys a modest reputation online.

Of course.

She can't compare to Dilraba.

After all, 'Eternal Love' is a massive hit across the web.

Moreover, there are online rumors that Yang Mi holds investment shares in 'Eternal Love'.

People say that her agency Jiaxing's performance guarantee agreement might need to be fulfilled early.

This shows just how hot this drama must be!

You know, Yang Mi is burdened with a debt of three hundred million yuan.

The little assistant ran over, leaned close to Dilraba's ear, and whispered, 'Sister Dilraba, someone's here to visit you on set!'

Hearing this,

Dilraba was still puzzled.

When she looked up, she saw Bai Lu entering the set, smiling at her.

Wow, Lulu!

Dilraba, long time no see!

Upon seeing Bai Lu, Dilraba's face lit up with joy; the long-separated old friends immediately embraced.

This scene naturally drew the attention of the rest of the crew.

Director Chen Zhong, seeing this, also walked over; after all, he's a good friend of the boss's wife, so he ought to say hello.

'Lulu, come, let me introduce you—this is our Director Chen!' Dilraba enthusiastically introduced.

Hello Director Chen, I'm Bai Lu.

Bai Lu quickly straightened her posture and politely greeted him.

Although Director Chen Zhong isn't a big-name director, Bai Lu knows he's from Lin Mo's company, promising for the future, so she gave him due courtesy.

Hello, welcome!

Director Chen Zhong smiled warmly, exchanged a few pleasantries, then got busy directing the shoot.

Dilraba pulled Bai Lu to find a seat, and the crew, seeing this, promptly brought fruit.

Bai Lu could feel that everyone in the crew treated Dilraba with great respect.

'Dilraba, you're now the boss's wife of Chen Guang Film & Television—tell me, how does it feel?' Bai Lu teased, blinking playfully.

The feeling is naturally great!

Dilraba smiled so much her eyes narrowed into little crescents.

'Lulu, I watched your performance in 'Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix' last year—you did a great job!'

I've also been following your 'Eternal Love'; your Feng Jiu is so adorable!

The two chatted back and forth.

In the blink of an eye, another week passed.

Lin Mo flew specially to Yunnan.

The film 'I Am Not Medicine God' is about to start shooting, after which I won't have time to visit Dilraba.

So I came before filming to see her.

Of course.

He didn't tell Dilraba in advance; instead, he planned to give her a surprise.

These days they often video chat; although Dilraba didn't mention it, Lin Mo, clear as a mirror, knew she missed him.

As soon as he arrived at the set's gate, the staff immediately recognized Lin Mo and warmly welcomed him.

Director Lin!

You've worked hard!

Not hard, not hard, we're just doing our job!

Lin Mo exchanged a few words with the gate staff, then went inside.

Inside, they were filming.

Because Lin Mo was wearing a hat, no one noticed him.

After all, everyone's attention was focused ahead.

Just then, I saw.

Dilraba was suspended on wires, her heroic and spirited appearance perfectly matching the character A Ning in the drama.

Meanwhile, in front of the director's monitor, Chen Zhong's attention was also on the screen.

He didn't notice the boss standing beside him at all.

Or rather, the assistant beside him whispered a reminder.

'Ah? The boss is here!' Chen Zhong startled, quickly preparing to stand up.

Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand: "You go ahead, we'll talk after the shoot."

Chen Zhong heard that, only then sat down and focused his mind.

A few dozen seconds later.

"Ka!"

"Hold a line!"

With that, Chen Zhong's "ka" sound rang out.

The scene ended.

Chen Zhong then respectfully shouted, "Boss!"

"Lao Chen, that was good; your technique keeps improving," Lin Mo patted his shoulder and praised him.

"No, no, it's all thanks to you, Boss!" Chen Zhong smiled with a hint of flattery.

Fortunately, his expression wasn't seen by the cast.

Otherwise…

They would have been clicking their tongues in amazement.

You see, Chen Zhong is usually stern on set, rarely smiling, a harsh taskmaster who even scolds people from time to time.

Rarely has anyone seen this side of him.

Over here.

Re Ba had just finished work when a junior assistant ran over and told her: "Re Ba, Director Lin is here!"

Hearing that, her eyes lit up instantly; she looked around and spotted Lin Mo, then ran over excitedly.

"Mo Ge, why are you here!" Re Ba exclaimed with surprise.

"Just wanted to give you a surprise, are you happy?" Lin Mo pulled her to a seat, and Chen Zhong quickly fetched a stool.

The other actors on set saw this and cast curious glances, murmuring among themselves.

"Huh? Who's that?"

"Is a big star here to visit the set?"

"Looks so familiar!"

"Whoa, isn't that Director Lin Mo?"

"Huh? Director Lin Mo is here?"

"Sss…"

Upon hearing that Director Lin Mo had arrived,

the actors all became excited.

It can be seen from here as well.

Nowadays, Lin Mo's standing in the industry is…

Look at that.

The cast of Steal Pen.

Upon hearing Director Lin was here, they all quickly ran over.

Xiao Yu Liang ran the fastest, panting as he reached Lin Mo and shouted, "Boss!"

Lin Mo laughed teasingly, "Hey kid, what's the hurry."

Re Ba covered her mouth and giggled nearby, and Chen Zhong timely praised Xiao Yu Liang, "Boss, Xiao is so professional on set!"

Hearing Director Chen's compliment, Xiao Yu Liang scratched his head sheepishly.

"Not bad, not bad, keep it up!"

Lin Mo encouraged, "Keep it up!"

Then,

The other main crew and actors also respectfully greeted him.

Lin Mo spent a few days with Re Ba on the set.

He was about to return to Mo Du.

The new drama I Am Not a Medicine God is about to start filming.

Because the shooting location is in Mo Du, Lin Mo chose to stay there, so no need to travel around.

Before the film begins, the core team naturally needs to get familiar first.

Wang Cheng!

Teacher Wang's recommended Assistant Director!

Lin Mo has also met him.

In the private room.

Xu Zheng, Zhang Ziyi, Deng Chao, Zhou Yiwei, Wang Yanhui, Yang Xinming, Zhang Yu, Li Naiwen…

Except for Zhang Yu and Zhou Yiwei, the others are veteran actors.

For the role of Huang Mao, Lin Mo actually considered letting others play it.

After thinking it over, he found few were suitable, so he sent an invitation from Liu Qin to Zhang Yu's agency.

When he learned he was selected for Lin Mo's new film, he was ecstatic!

Especially today, now that he's in Mo Du.

Seeing these big stars,

he was even more thrilled.

Xu Zheng, Zhang Ziyi, Deng Chao

My heavens!

I never thought I'd get to film with these three.

He wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

"This is Zhang Yu, the actor who plays the yellow-haired guy in the movie; and, senior brother, this is Zhou Yiwei, the actor who plays your brother-in-law—he's long been famous, and netizens all call him 'Money-Adding Brother'!"

Lin Mo only introduced these two; the others are all old-timers in the circle—everyone knows them.

And upon hearing Director Lin say that, Zhou Yiwei felt a bit embarrassed: "No, no, Director Lin, it's just that netizens love to meme..."

Who would have thought, Zhang Ziyi smiled and said: "Zhou Yiwei, I know you—your performance as Ding Xiu in Embroidered Spring Sword was quite good!"

She indeed knows Zhou Yiwei.

She had watched this drama back then.

The reason is mainly because her old friend Zhang Zheng starred in it.

The two have worked together on The Grandmaster and have known each other for many years.
